What help do others get with food prep, I am on restricted diet so ready meals aren't always suitable

嗨，所有

我在甲氨蝶呤几年后又回到了甲氨蝶呤。我在第二周，今天，我完全被访问女士室的时间完全被我铺上了！

任何人都可以建议什么可能有助于平静这种症状？昨天发生了这一点，但今天是另一回事。我今天无法吃饭，因为我很害怕它不在肚子里。

谢谢您的任何建议

一年中有最好的时间可以置换髋关节？在冬季，我在12月的手术早期进行手术时恢复了什么感觉，尽管我可以回到四月的天气可能不那么讨厌。谢谢您的回复。

Hello,

I had surgery a month and a half ago and while I am getting my movement back in my hand but it is still painful and thumb is swollen, what I have noticed for the past week is I wake up at night with my whole arm aching. Only way to sleep through the night is with strong pain pill. Any others experienced this?

THank you!

Hi, thank you for allowing me to join you, I have hip arthritis, it's suddenly flared up with bad nawing pain all down my leg and foot, keepsme awake, I do have a first time steroid injection soon, could this help and why is this happening, it's so disabling, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

嗨，我是这个论坛的新手，我想我真的来找建议，我57岁，大多数关节都有OA。

我在2018年替换了一个右膝盖and just as i was rerurning to work 2019 i fell and badly ruptured my rotator cuff muscles in my right shoulder resulting in an operation.

I am left with reduced flexion in my right knee so cant walk down stairs properly and reduced movement, grip, strength in my dominant right arm.

Recently my left knee has been very painful...doesnt like to be straight and as i lunge to the left side when walking it is causing awful pain in my degenerating lumbar spine.

I dont feel i could go through another knee replacement as probably wouldnt get downstairs at all lol.

I am wondering when i will know the time is to use a crutch...i dont think i could use a walking stick.

I have arranged a physio appointment re knee in Jan so am guessing they will advise me...just struggling so much at the minute and am upset at how little i can do ..walking wise.

Any advice will be gratefully received

Thanks

Good Morning , my name is Judith and I’m 57, I’ve recently been diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis and degenerative disc s , I work at the local hospital well at the moment I’m of sick I’m a HCA I’m unable to do most of the work as it requires a lot of physical movements ,my line manager did try and get me back to work but I had another flare up and signed of , she wants me to go back and try again but I know I’m not going to be able to do just even simple jobs on the ward so I’m thinking that I need to be re deployed as I’m worried that if I’m not able to work on the ward then they will start to try and phase me out of the hospital , I am also a Branch Secretary for Unison , but they don’t seem to want me to do this though would be ideal as it’s Office based

anyone got any ideas I’m worried I’ll be out of a job and the stress is making me very down ,crying for no reason etc any help would be appreciated

thank you xx

Good evening new on here to find out more

Hi just had a diagnosis of Psoriatic Ankylosing spondylitis. Didn't think to ask if working on the psoriasis with creams etc. helps with the aches and pains. Anyone hove have wisdom to share?

嗨！我是海伦（Helen），我今年44岁，刚被诊断出患有RA。在残酷的疲劳和关节疼痛中挣扎，尤其是在我的手和手腕上。当我努力做基本的事情时，感觉有点没用。与经历相同问题的人交谈会很棒。

Hi I had my first Cortisone & Hyaluronic acid injection today. Found it extremely painful. I had fluid aspirated before the injection. Advised to rest for a few days now. Knee is very sore and has seized up a bit! Can’t bend it back hardly at all. I was given some exercises to do but it’s impossible to move it much at the moment. I had to pay for the treatment as NHS wait far too long.

I hope it helps my mobility as I haven’t been able to walk very far since knee became swollen. Has anyone had a similar injection?

If so, how long does it take to reduce the swelling?

I am trying to find out more about biologics. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, diagnosed at age 21. I am now 71. Ive been on Methotrexate for the past 25 years and my results show it has worked relatively well for me. I have always kept active and do the exercises with Leon regularly, I realise age can slow people down but I can tell when its the Arthritis having a go and I've spent my life pacing myself.

My problem is the fatigue element of RA. I'm not sure that Methotrexate does anything to help in this area. I also get about 3 flare ups per year, which flatten me. My hands are very damaged and getting worse. I am seeing my Rheumatologist soon but wanted to get opinions from anyone with experience of using Biologics alongside Methatrexate.

My husband is scheduled for a heart bypass and the recovery period is 6 weeks not driving and not lifting anything over 3kgs and a further 6 weeks before he can return to anything like normal life. I need to be at the top of my game and thought I'd ask my Consultant about Biologics, but I need to know as much about them as possible before I see him as he can be quite dismissive and I need to know what I'm talking about. The Versus Arthritis web site has been very informative but personal opinions/experiences would be great. What do you think my chances are?

Hi all , I’m new to the site however have had OA for 15years ( I’m 48), my doctor has basically told me to stick with naproxen and co codamol for pain relief, my hands are like nik naks at the moment the tops are swollen and very painful, I work full time with children with SEND and have been told I’m not eligible for pip. Can anyone direct me to good pain relief and what’s peoples thoughts re pip? Sorry if I’m asking the wrong questions delete if necessary.

Hello

I was diagnosed with RA when I was 5. I am currently 29. At the moment because of the disease I use a wheelchair and I am without treatment. I am from Chile and I speak Spanish. I was with mtx for years but only this has affected my body and my mood. I need a guide to start some treatment here. I don't want to go back to mtx.

Thanks to let me part of the community

Hello everyone,

I saw on the BBC red button "Health" Section last night that trials are being conducted to see whether people who are taking Methotrexate would benefit from having a break of taking their medication for two weeks and having their COVID vaccines as Methotrexate affects the immune system and people who are on this medication are prone to a higher risk of infections, etc.

I have been on Methotrexate since 2016 and have had all my COVID jabs plus the booster and the flu jab and have done all I can to protect myself. However, leaving Methotrexate off for two weeks would surely affect people's conditions and especially if like me people suffer from RA, the symptoms would return.

Methotrexate is a dangerous drug and needs to be strictly monitored and my hospital team had told me that this drug cannot be stopped just like that. Two weeks does seem extreme.

I am pleased to see that the medical profession/scientists are now helping people like me who take Methotrexate by doing these clinical trials but I think most clinically vulnerable people have had the vaccines/boosters and surely this trial should have been instigated when the vaccines were first rolled out. What do you all think?

Stay safe everyone

Just saying hi to everyone. I'm a bit confused after a 2 minute chat with a dr.

大家好，我被诊断出患有PSA（主要是手中的炎症）和膝盖上的卵巢炎。I just started Amgevita-TNF blocker injections and habe found it great so far in keeping the inflammation down. I've joined this forum to help educate myself more and how best to manage and help myself with these big health changes. Thanks

Hello

I have recently been diagnosed with RA, which came as a bit of a shock. Fit and very active male.

I haven't started meds yet (as I may be in denial I guess) but am undecided whether to take Methotrexate by pen injection or Sulfasalazine orally, daily. I have been given a choice!

From what I gather SFZ is not as effective at MTX but the serious side effects may be less?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.

I really need some help - emotionally, more than anything.

I have hip dysplasia that caused secondary OA, and recently underwent a THR at 38 (two months ago). It went pretty well, but I’ve found the process of waiting and the actual op pretty traumatic, and the recovery bearable but mentally draining. My other hip is non symptomatic right now but has the same condition, so will also need an early replacement.

I’d had concerns about my knees crunching and crackling for a while (no pain or stiffness) and my surgeon had hoped it would all level up post op, but it’s still there in one of them (the other has cleared up thankfully). I’m having to wait a while to have it checked as I’m not cleared to go for a MRI until the hip is recovered, so I’m finding the anxiety of this waiting period very hard. I’m convinced I have deteriorating cartilage in one knee and it just feels like one thing after another right now. Im terrified of being told I have knee OA too. I’m feeling hopeless, like I want to give up. All I can see ahead is pain and decreasing mobility, like I’ve been through for so long with my bad hip.

I suppose I’m asking for a little hope or light from those who are more experienced in dealing with OA than I am (even though I don’t have the knee diagnosis yet). I didn’t deal with my hip well and left it as long as I could bear to. I just need some guidance and some advice on how everyone copes with such anxiety and sadness around this condition or potential diagnosis.

A genuine thank you.
